Description

Native Americans have willingly served in the U.S. military right through every of this country’s wars, and their current numbers in the armed forces exceed the percentage of some other ethnic group. Their stories encompass heroism and tragedy, humor and stoicism, loyalty and conflict—all a part of the riveting experience of Warriors in Uniform. This illustrated history divulges the exploits of the last Confederate general—a Cherokee—to lay down his arms…the code talkers who used tribal languages to thwart the enemy in World War II…the first Native American woman to give her life as a soldier…those serving in Iraq lately…and lots of others. Spiritual, poignant, gripping, even shocking (warriors still took scalps in Vietnam), it reveals how ancient traditions of war persevere and how the warrior designation is a brilliant honor to the Native American community. Packed with first person accounts and sharing little-known insights into a culture that may be still misunderstood, Warriors in Uniform is a page-turning epic and a stunning gallery of never-before-seen artifacts from personal collections. Former senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell and other distinguished Native Americans have contributed to the collection. Following on the success of Native Universe and Trail to Wounded Knee, this book is already generating great interest all the way through the Native American community. As the only book to cover Native American warriors from the 1700s to present, it stands out among other titles in the marketplace.
